Like sweet morning dew I took one look at you And it was plain to see you where my destiny With my arms open wide I threw away my pride I sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you Like I would go where you lead I'll be right there in time of need And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up that hill There's no looking back for us We've got each other's love and that's enough Cause you're all I need to get by (chorus sung in Aretha's typical 'run' fashion) Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best Stand by yiu like a tree and dare anybody who tries to move me Darlin' in you I've found strength where I was torn down I don't know what's in store but together we can open any door Just do what's good for you I'll inspire you a little bit higher I know you can make a wo-man out of soul that didn't have a goal Cause we've got the right foundation and with the love and determination (yes we do) You're all I need to get by (again, with the chorus Aretha does not 'sing it straight,' she ad-libs and improvises into the denoument)
